Tennessee’s 28th Judicial District, which includes Crockett, Gibson and Haywood counties, reported no murders in 2025, the Commercial Appeal reports. District Attorney Frederick Agee said in a Jan. 6 news release that it is the first time in at least 20 years the district has recorded zero homicides, and that it was the only judicial district in the state without a murder last year. Tennessee has 32 judicial districts, and the 28th District serves a population of about 85,000. “We have aggressively sought revocations of offenders out on bond or on probation when they continue to violate,” Agee said. “We believe this record year illustrates the fruits of our office policy and labor.”
